Photoinduced host-to-guest electron transfer in a self-assembled coordination cage† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Experimental procedures, characterization, NMR, mass, UV-Vis spectra, X-ray crystallography, and computational details. CCDC 2114030 and 2114031. For ESI and crystallographic data in CIF or other electronic format see DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d2qo01339h

ABSTRACT: A [Pd2L4] coordination cage, assembled from electron-rich phenothiazine-based ligands and encapsulating an electron-deficient anthraquinone-based disulfonate guest, is reported. Upon excitation at 400 nm, transient absorption spectroscopy unveils photoinduced electron transfer from the host's chromophores to the guest, as indicated by characteristic spectral features assigned to the oxidized donor and reduced acceptor. The structure of the host–guest complex was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Spectroelectrochemical experiments and DFT calculations both agree with the proposed light-induced charge separation. A kinetic analysis of the involved charge transfer channels reveals, besides a guest-independent LMCT path, 44% efficiency for the host–guest charge transfer (HGCT). Light–powered host–guest charge transfer (HGCT) is shown for a coordination cage based on electron-rich phenothiazines, containing an anthraquinone acceptor as guest. Transient absorption spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry data is presented.

Adaptations of guest and host in expanded self-assembled capsules.

Project description:Reversible encapsulation complexes create spaces where two or more molecules can be temporarily isolated. When the mobility of encapsulated molecules is restricted, different arrangements in space are possible, and new forms of isomerism ("social isomerism") are created: the orientation of one encapsulated molecule influences that of the other in the confined space. Expansion of a capsule's length is possible through addition of small-molecule spacer elements. The expanded capsules have dimensions that permit the observation of social isomerism of two identical guests, and they adopt arrangements that properly fill the host's space. The host also can adapt to longer guests by incorporating additional spacers, much as protein modules are added to a viral capsid in response to larger genomes. Arachidonic and related fatty acid derivatives act in this way to induce the assembly of further extended capsules having sufficient length to accommodate them.

A Quantitative Study of the Effects of Guest Flexibility on Binding Inside a Coordination Cage Host.

Project description:We have performed a systematic investigation of the effects of guest flexibility on their ability to bind in the cavity of a coordination cage host in water, using two sets of isomeric aliphatic ketones that differ only in the branching patterns of their alkyl chains. Apart from the expected increase in binding strength for C9 over C7 ketones associated with their greater hydrophobic surface area, within each isomeric set there is a clear inverse correlation between binding free energy and guest flexibility, associated with loss of conformational entropy. This can be parameterized by the number of rotatable C-C bonds in the guest, with each additional rotatable bond resulting in a penalty of around 2 kJ mol-1 in the binding free energy, in good agreement with values obtained from protein/ligand binding studies. We used the binding data for the new flexible guests to improve the scoring function that we had previously developed that allowed us to predict binding constants of relatively rigid guests in the cage cavity using the molecular docking programme GOLD (Genetic Optimisation of Ligand Docking). This improved scoring function resulted in a significant improvement in the ability of GOLD to predict binding constants for flexible guests, without any detriment to its ability to predict binding for more rigid guests.

Photoinduced Carbonyl Radical Luminescence in Host-Guest Systems.

Project description:Developing a free radical emission system in different states, especially in water, is highly challenging and desired. Herein, a host-guest coassembly strategy was used to protect the in situ photoactivated radical emission of carbonyl compounds in solid and aqueous solutions by doping them into a series of small molecules with hydroxyl groups. The intermolecular interactions between host and guest and the electron-donating ability of the hydroxyl group can significantly promote the formation and stabilization of luminescence by carbonyl radicals. Accordingly, the stimuli-responsive property of the free radical system was investigated in detail, and the self-assembled aggregates showed photoactive and thermoresponsive behaviors. In addition, an advanced ammonia compound identification system can be built based on a radical emission system. Our design strategy sheds light on developing free radical systems that can emit in various states, which will greatly broaden the application range of free radicals.

Guest-Dependent Isomer Convergence of a Permanently Fluxional Coordination Cage.

Project description:A fluxional bis-monodentate ligand, based on the archetypal shape-shifting molecule bullvalene, self-assembles with M2+ (M=Pd2+ or Pt2+ ) to produce a highly complex ensemble of permanently fluxional coordination cages. Metal-mediated self-assembly selects for an M2 L4 architecture while maintaining shape-shifting ligand complexity. A second level of simplification is achieved with guest-exchange; the binding of halides within the M2 L4 cage mixture results in a convergence to a cage species with all four ligands present as the "B isomer". Within this confine, the reaction graph of the bullvalene is greatly restricted, but gives rise to a mixture of 38 possible diastereoisomers in rapid exchange. X-ray crystallography reveals a preference for an achiral form consisting of both ligand enantiomers. Through a combination of NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we elucidate the restricted isomerisation pathway of the permanently fluxional M2 L4 assembly.

Selective, cofactor-mediated catalytic oxidation of alkanethiols in a self-assembled cage host.

Project description:A spacious Fe(ii)-iminopyridine self-assembled cage complex can catalyze the oxidative dimerization of alkanethiols, with air as stoichiometric oxidant. The reaction is aided by selective molecular recognition of the reactants, and the active catalyst is derived from the Fe(ii) centers that provide the structural vertices of the host. The host is even capable of size-selective oxidation and can discriminate between alkanethiols of identical reactivity, based solely on size.

Halogen-Bond Assisted Photoinduced Electron Transfer.

Project description:The formation of a halogen-bond (XB) complex in the excited state was recently reported with a quadrupolar acceptor-donor-acceptor dye in two iodine-based liquids (J. Phys. Chem. Lett.2017, 8, 3927-3932). The ultrafast decay of this excited complex to the ground state was ascribed to an electron transfer quenching by the XB donors. We examined the mechanism of this process by investigating the quenching dynamics of the dye in the S1 state using the same two iodo-compounds diluted in inert solvents. The results were compared with those obtained with a non-halogenated electron acceptor, fumaronitrile. Whereas quenching by fumaronitrile was found to be diffusion controlled, that by the two XB compounds is slower, despite a larger driving force for electron transfer. A Smoluchowski-Collins-Kimball analysis of the excited-state population decays reveals that both the intrinsic quenching rate constant and the quenching radius are significantly smaller with the XB compounds. These results point to much stronger orientational constraint for quenching with the XB compounds, indicating that electron transfer occurs upon formation of the halogen bond.

Modulating the electron-transfer properties of a mixed-valence system through host-guest chemistry.

Project description:Metal directed self-assembly has become a much-studied route towards complex molecular architectures. Although studies on mixed valence, MV, systems accessible through this approach are almost non-existent, the potential applications of such systems are very exciting as MV states provide the basis of a number of molecular-scale devices, including single electron wires and switches. Furthermore, while many novel hosts for guest ions and molecules have been developed through metal directed self-assembly, as these products tend to be kinetically labile, very few electrochemical studies have been reported. Herein, we report that the interplay between the binding properties and redox activity of a self-assembled trinuclear RuII macrocycle leads to an hitherto unreported phenomenon, in which access to specific MV states can be gated by host-guest chemistry. Thus, this system is the first in which MV states and the extent of electron delocalisation are switched by an ion without any change in electrochemical potential.

One Guest or Two? A Crystallographic and Solution Study of Guest Binding in a Cubic Coordination Cage.

Project description:A crystallographic investigation of a series of host-guest complexes in which small-molecule organic guests occupy the central cavity of an approximately cubic M8 L12 coordination cage has revealed some unexpected behaviour. Whilst some guests form 1:1 H⋅G complexes as we have seen before, an extensive family of bicyclic guests-including some substituted coumarins and various saturated analogues-form 1:2 H⋅G2 complexes in the solid state, despite the fact that solution titrations are consistent with 1:1 complex formation, and the combined volume of the pair of guests significantly exceeds the Rebek 55±9 % packing for optimal guest binding, with packing coefficients of up to 87 %. Re-examination of solution titration data for guest binding in two cases showed that, although conventional fluorescence titrations are consistent with 1:1 binding model, alternative forms of analysis-Job plot and an NMR titration-at higher concentrations do provide evidence for 1:2 H⋅G2 complex formation. The observation of guests binding in pairs in some cases opens new possibilities for altered reactivity of bound guests, and also highlights the recently articulated difficulties associated with determining stoichiometry of supramolecular complexes in solution.

Disentangling contributions to guest binding inside a coordination cage host: analysis of a set of isomeric guests with differing polarities.

Project description:Binding of a set of three isomeric guests (1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-dicyanobenzene, abbreviated DCB) inside an octanuclear cubic coordination cage host H (bearing different external substitutents according to solvent used) has been studied in water/dmso (98 : 2) and CD2Cl2. These guests have essentially identical molecular surfaces, volumes and external functional groups to interact with the cage interior surface; but they differ in polarity with dipole moments of ca. 7, 4 and 0 Debye respectively. In CD2Cl2 guest binding is weak but we observe a clear correlation of binding free energy with guest polarity, with 1,4-DCB showing no detectable binding by NMR spectroscopy but 1,2-DCB having -ΔG = 9 kJ mol-1. In water (containing 2% dmso to solubilise the guests) we see the same trend but all binding free energies are much higher due to an additional hydrophobic contribution to binding, with -ΔG varying from 16 kJ mol-1 for 1,4-DCB to 22 kJ mol-1 for 1,4-DCB: again we see an increase associated with guest polarity but the increase in -ΔG per Debye of dipole moment is around half what we observe in CD2Cl2 which we ascribe to the fact the more polar guests will be better solvated in the aqueous solvent. A van't Hoff analysis by variable-temperature NMR showed that the improvement in guest binding in water/dmso is entropy-driven, which suggests that the key factor is not direct electrostatic interactions between a polar guest and the cage surface, but the variation in guest desolvation across the series, with the more polar (and hence more highly solvated) guests having a greater favourable entropy change on desolvation.
